Sonny, I Watched the Vault Bein' Built!
On the Esmaldone group

I was night and in his rest Esmaldone could feel someone approaching, sneaking in, he suddenly awakens. He sees Koch next to him, he is on watch, the others are asleep.
-Everything alright sir?- Said Koch.
-Yes I’m fine, just thought someone was coming.-
-No one coming here sir.-
Esmaldone is death tired, but can’t get to sleep well. He then decides to make a report on his log, so he takes his computer from his arm pocket.

Sun was beginning to rise, but aside from a little, almost imperceptible light on the environment it was almost the same as night.
-Not much sun with this whether.- Esmaldone says.
-What sir?- Replies Koch.
-Nothing, get the men ready to move.-
-Yes sir.-

Fuller, Koch, Esteves and Esmaldone leave the ruined building and begin to move. Street by street, corner by corner, as tirelessly trained before, slowly but surely they move. A strange mist covers the streets, at the far the sea could be herd, they were not too far from the coast, on the opposite direction thunders could be herd, or was it bombs, or both, difficult to say, the horizon made noises accompanied by lights.

The most valuable equipment in this conditions was the thermal/low light equipment, although Esmaldone wasn’t wearing it, he rather had his peripheral vision favored to have better control of his men. He trusted they would see the enemy if there were any around.

The idea was to avoid contact at all cost, and get to a position north of the ruined city, away from the beach defenses and known enemy positions, but unless other friendly forces in the area had been more successful they were stranded there.

-Ok, we move together. Koch, you take point.-

On the Walters group

Walters leaded his men trough the ruined and abandoned streets, knowing there could be an enemy after every corner. But were they all alone out there? If there were any surviving forces left it would be a good Idea to link up with them. But where? He was sure the lieutenant and other soldiers survived, he saw them heading into the city, looking for cover. Would they had made it? The more logical move for any remaining forces in this circumstances would be to move away from the enemy, there he would find whatever forces were left on the area.

And so he moved North. –Alright men, we are moving, keep your eyes open to any enemy patrols, you know the drill.-
 
OOC: Actually your character is hiding with Doubose, both taken characters (that's why I did not wanted to make an introductory post yet), and will link up with the rest of the group later. The first posts will be about rejoining what is left of the platoon.

Describe what your character decides to do, what he thinks, also discuss what actions to take with Ah-Teen who is playing Dubose. The fallowing IC will give you both a place to start with.

IC: Dubose and Stone found themselves alone in the middle of the city, inside a ruined building. The most important thing for them to do at the moment is to try to link up with friendly forces, avoiding enemies at the same time.

A noise of movement is coming from about 100 meters to the south. Would those noises be made by friendlies or foes?

If they decide to find out they have to do it carefully so they are not discovered in case they are enemies.
 
(OCC: Hope you don't mind me putting in a few personal touches to the character.)

Dubose was eating a fine tasting meal of beef with mushrooms in sauce out of an 8 Ounce olive drab bag. It would have been even better had it also been warm. Not for a lack of heaters, but to prevent the smell from attracting every starving goon within 3 blocks.

The sounds of vehicles (I assume, since 100 meters is a long way away to hear your average pack of grunts) down the road made him pause. He zipped up the side of the bag and stowed it in an ammo pouch full of potentially messy nick knacks.

He picked up the rifle between his legs and scampered up the second floor that was now partly on the first. He hunched into a window on the north side to reduce his silhouette as he looked south down the road, he took off his shemagh that could be mistaken for grey and black and draped it over the barrel of his gun before readying it in the window.

He tapped his hand on the floor a few times to get stone's attention and gave him hand signals to set up his gun to the south.

Debose tried to figure out what exactly the sounds were, tank, truck, or just a whole lot of pain coming his way. Or whether or not they were friendly or not.
 
Setting up at a south-facing window, Stone double-checks his gun, making sure everything is fine, other than the barrel being rather dirty. Several salvaged nudie magazines lay on a table nearby, (There's a personal touch for you. :P ) along with a half-eaten rations bar. Listening intently, Stone scans the area looking for enemy soldiers, and identifies the sound as an enemy truck, and gives the appropriate signal to Dubose.
 
OOC: Good posts, don't mind at all about the personal touches, keep it going.

IC:

450 meters South from Stone and Dubose:

Two APC's start rolling North each taking a parallel street with two infantry squads fallowing behind each.

The APC's are equipped with 20mm auto cannons and AT missiles.

The ISD commander talks to the radio on his headset:
-HQ this is red one, we are now entering the city and proceeding North, over-
-Roger red one, reports locate remaining enemy invasion forces on your path, be advised.-
-Roger, will report from check point two, over and out.-

Right after this a thunder sounds and a flash illuminates the area, an each time stronger rain begins to fall making the limited visibility even worse.
 
"Shit." Stone mutters under his breath. He does not turn on the flashlight attachment for his gun however, because the light would be much more likely to give him away. Was there two vehicles or one? It seemed to be two, but he remained cautious. At this point he would have certainly seen the APCs if the visibility wasn't so poor. He aimed his gun toward the sound of the approaching enemies. He was prepared to kill them, he'd done it before. But before he had the advantage...
 
Bubose tapped again and hissed down to stone as not to be heard by anyone outside the building "Don't shoot unless necessary, stay hidden. We're fucked if they find us. If they see us, leap frog north"

(Tactic where the furthest forward soldier(soldier one/stone) retreats behind the soldier that is covering him(soldier two/Dubose) and then soldier one begins covering soldier two's retreat. Ah battle buddies, such nice things to have around)

Dubose wonders to himself what was that closer sound near 100 meters, couldn't be the tanks they were half a click down the road.
 
"Enemy squad, coming up on us, they're trying to cut off our retreat. Stone whispered, grabbing and eating the other half of the ration bar as to not waste it.
 
IC

A scout vehicle suddenly appears out of the debris 20 meters in front of Dubose and Stone and locate what it seems like a rifle barrel. The two soldiers on the vehicle start shooting at the windows of the building but not really aiming at anyone. Three seconds later one of the APC's, the only one in line of sight, starts firing his 20mm cannon at the building, taking chunks of concrete out of the walls with the 20mm round impacts.

The APC gunner talks to the loader: –Load up a missile.-

OOC

Ok, hell has broke loose, and you guy's have less than 10 seconds before a missile blows up half of the building. I suggest you run out of there, you can't win this one. If you engage anyone you won't have time to escape. Everyone is shooting at the building like crazy, but not taking aim on you, I suggest you use this to your advantage.
 
"Shit! RUN!!!!" Stone yells, hoping Dubose hears him. He quickly reaches the door and scans the area for hostiles, while waiting for Dubose.
Edit: LOL, Bubose! :P
 
Dubose dropped as the scout and apc blindly blasted away at the building. "MOVE IT STONE!" Hoping stone heard. Dubose didn't wait to cover stone's retreat, chunks of concrete were being blown out in a rhythmic booming pattern closing in on him, he ran to a hole in the north side of the second floor and slid out of it, running for the door stone had taken cover in.

Stone took position at the door once he gets there, taking cover and watching to see if anyone was coming after them. "Keep going stone!"
 
Barely hearing Duboses voice, despite being not far from him, Stone took one last look around before making a run for it. His long legs carried him fast, and he hoped Dubose could keep up
